I really think this is going to come down to turnovers and whether MSU can limit them. They will control the boards and Michigan is tops in the country at limiting turnover so they won't be giving the ball away much. MSU has tendencies to play sloppy at times and turn the ball over. If Sparty can limit the turnovers, to probably 10 or less, then they will win.

Bet U of M first half. Sparty usually comes out of the gate slow. Look for an opportunity to bet Sparty second half. Izzo is usually good at making adjustments.

After the fact, and only reading this thread now, this is good info to keep in your notes. Mich St has won me alot of money 2nd H this year. This team continues to cover 2nd halfs when it says they wont. Keep that in your mind in the future. Not a team I'm betting against 2nd Half.

Michigan looked horrible last night. Their only form of offense apparently is jacking up threes. Maybe it was a hang over from the suicide schedule the last few, or maybe they were finally exposed. Fortunately they will have a chance to bounce back with only 2 joke road games left. They can also even the score with the conference leaders Mich St and Indiana at home, one of which will lose next Tuesday in East Lansing.

I expected more out of Michigan last night, as I'm sure most people did, especially starting the game out. State just came ready to play, Michigan did not.

State did a great job of forcing turnovers against the team that is best in not committing them. Michigan had twice as many turnovers as State and when Burke got into foul trouble things really unraveled for Michigan.

Sparty only committed 8 turnovers and forced Michigan into 16. Great game for Sparty. Rebounding edge was predictable as State won that. However, State was able to make more free throws than U of M attempted. I thought that was pretty impressive.
